If anything, I gained more confidence in Monero.  He's saying in order to break Monero's anonymity complicit miners basically need to control a good part of the network and create a ton of fake transactions in order to mark other users transactions.  They also have to be able to mine their own transactions!   Also complicit miners need to control a big portion of the hashrate and they will be able to afford to do this by "selling your identities"? Catch 22?  All this appears to be a very far-fetched scenario and would very noticeable as the transaction volume spikes up.  

The scenario basically is that the government takes over Monero mining, doing massive number of fake transactions and big data analytics and it's game over.  That goes for every crypto right.  

Is it me or is the recent news of WannaCry where every researcher and blockchain analyst said Monero is completely anonymous, it's blockchain is opaque and we can't trace anything resulted in a strategy from FBI, NSA coming up with a strategy to FUD on Monero so it doesn't gain adoption?
